Yes, I agree with you. Buddhism would appear to be compatible with many religions. Christianity is as diverse as Buddhism though. I do not believe that Christians living in a Capitalistic country could become adept in the teachings of Buddha because of the incessant suffering in said countries. Let's face it Materialism breeds unhappiness. As fars some of the basic teachings though I do believe Christ and Buddha said a lot in common. They both also had whacky naive disciples asking silly questions in the persons of ananda and Peter. Thank you for writing a wonderful essay.
